The practical flower garden

| The practical flower garden |
In this little book are given the results of my experience in practical work in the flower garden during the last five years, in caring for the grass and evergreens, arranging flowers to secure constant colour effects, raising plants and trees from seeds, and the use of fertilizers most suited to the needs of the various plants and productive of the best results.
The chapter on the Wild Garden owes its being to the maker of the " Connecticut Garden," who has given me frequent opportunities of watching its development, and much of the information contained in the chapter. To him also I am indebted for the beautiful photographs which may serve as an inspiration to those who would find delight in creating a similar garden of native plants and shrubs.
